25th Teddy Bear [Voice/Action][TWO DAYS]

[[Nighttime; June 23rd]]

[Elicia had had a tough week.

Shuffle, shuffle—the sound of turning blankets and small feet moving back and forth through them. She's been rolling in her sleep for a few minutes now, flipping her hidden journal into a little book tepee, while it records the buzzing air and soft incoherent murmurings of a child dreaming. They're not happy dreams, after a while, and it takes but a moment before she's wide awake and horrified and crawling under her blankets with her mouth in a shaky near-crying line. The journal. That's right.

She reaches over and opens it up all the way, unable to see anything in the dark. Her voice is watery and lined with a sort of innocent, hurt desperation when she speaks.]


[Voice]

Please tell me a story. I wanna hear stories, if anyone... wants to talk... I like them a lot. I—I promise I'll go back to sleep, but I just wanna hear one...

[Pretty, pretty please...

But despite stories, sometime in the night, she rises up from her bed and patter-pitters quickly into her parents' room. Scary, they're too scary—and they could be real. Because she's seen scary real things like it before. And the last thing she wanted was a blue-eyed woman slowly creaking out of her closet, like she kept imagining, over and over and over again...]


[[Daytime; June 24th]]


[It was a cold snap, today. Elicia wore her poofy pink jacket for the occasion. Truth be told, she's had a very tiring night of trying to sleep, and she'd failed at it fairly well. There were a mesh-up of things. Scary things. She didn't want to draw any of them, so she decided on focusing her attention to playing. By the end of her short-lived playtime outside, she's laying on her arm on the front steps of her house, the fake pink sword Law gave her still clamped in her hand.

A good nap. There was nothing scary... Just good. That was important. It's a good thing children bounce back well enough, even if only for a while, because she's got a content air about her later on in the day. Anyone who wants to visit, now's a great time to; she'll be drawing funny circles all over the ground outside with a stick. Clapping her hands and smacking them. And nothing happens. :|

But she sure as hell is pretending something's happening.]




Bam!! Now you can't stand against my dirt alchemy!! [throws dirt up with her hands at her big teddy bear >:^(

HA, screw you, teddy, you've got dirt on your head!]

You'd better give up soon, or else I'll have to use my water attack next!!

[AND THEN YOU'LL BE MUDDY!!!]

((ooc: Just make it clear which day you're replying to and all that. I have faith in you. |Db))

Old MacDonald! You've been allowed to learn that bawdy reel?! Why it's filthy! I must say I'm a bit shocked, little bitty pirate!
all7seas: (must be a tiny thing behind the Pearl)

...........................................Oh. Not so bad, then. Would you like a lullabye?
all7seas: (hmmmm....)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-06-28 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Most of the songs I know would not be fit for your ears, bitty Elicia. I do know a bit of one old tune that's not so bad, though. Erm. If I can remember how it goes...
all7seas: (plotting always plotting)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-06-29 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oi! I remember it! Now shut it and I'll sing it for you and you'll fall right down into a lovely soft sleep. Ahem....

[After some initial hesitation, as though he is still reaching back in his memory for this one to a long time ago, Jack begins in that rusted voice:]

Far away, far away child
Turn your eyes far away child
I will sleep right down beside you
Tonight I will sleep tonight
Pirate ships, Pirate ships child
Merry and bold, sparkling and rich child
Coming to dock right at your feet
Tonight; coming to dock, tonight
In the stars, in the stars child
See the people in the stars child
They will sail
Right through your window
Tonight
Into your window
Tonight...

...There might be more, but I've forgotten it.


all7seas: (cheers)

Of course you do! Me dad used to sing that to me at nights when I was a tiny shaver, not much bigger than yourself---especially on difficult nights. Perhaps that'll help, darling.
all7seas: (not where I left you)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-07-03 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Erm.....explainin' Teague to you right now would not be conducive to sleep, little pirate. Another time, sweet.
all7seas: (tore it all apart)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-07-04 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
When you awaken, child? I'll break open the darkest of pirate secrets to you. How's that?
all7seas: (I will fly I will swim I will die)

When you live on board a ship, you get used to sleeping at regular intervals. And then a storm hits, and you don't sleep for three days or more; and then it calms, and you can snatch a bit of rest. It's being on shore that does you in for sleeping. Nothing to rock you into sweet rest, on shore. No proper schedules.

So, aye. Sometimes.
all7seas: (not where I left you)

...Back home? No, poppet, I never did. Not once.

[His Luceti death penalty is another matter entirely.]
all7seas: (persuasion)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-07-08 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Erm---sorry, who is this "Mister Captain," now?
all7seas: (we were the reef)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-07-08 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[..........wait a minute.......]


Of...course. Mister Captain. Handsome chap, about yay big?
all7seas: (wear out the words)

[/sadness forever]

Darling? If you ever do finish that story? I'm one what would love to hear the tale.
